Undp Helps Azeri Women With Family Planning

Azerbaijan, with help from the UN Population Fund, is conducting training programmes, and disseminating information about reproductive health and family planning to Azeri women. Women's health clinics are teaching women in even the poorest areas how to prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. Despite the increasing popularity of the clinics, abortion rates are still high. But word is out that education and knowledge lead to a higher quality of life for all women.(3'12)
